The purpose of this OMB application is
to permit continued collection of longitudinal health behavior and
health status data in this cohort of U.S. adolescents for four more
years. In addition, up to six best friends nominated by the NEXT
Plus cohort in 2013 and 2015 will complete brief surveys of their
health behaviors. This is a revision of the previous application
because there is a new group of respondents and a revision of the
survey forms
